We shouod make a climate thread so we dont litter the good and noble science thread with bullshit.

Re: People asking questions ad infinidum: I think the best way to handle it is to become increasingly vague with the more questions that are asked. "How do I convert to hex in java?" "Integer.valueOf(String.valueOf(n), 16);" ten minutes later... "How do I convert to binary?"...

I know very little about chemistry and less about organic chemistry. I know so little that a chemist would likely laugh at my musings in their field. I do know that organic chemistry is generally defined as 'chemistry involving carbon atoms' because that makes a lot of sense. But in a...

That part is a bit inconsistent. Unless some 5 of those 'blades' were actual swords and the rest were steak knives, the Lannisters could've gotten one. There's only a hundred or so real houses in Westeros.

Ancient what point are you trying to make here?

It should never happen and it'd be a travesty if the UFC signed it or a commission sanctioned it, but I'd still avatar bet on Ronda against some of the dudes on the UFC roster.

I never got any insight as to who made what decisions about nameplates. When I brought it up and told them how devastating of a decision it was for communities they had nothing to say.

Kentucky man shoots down drone spying on 16-year-old daughter

30N a watt is ludicrous, it woupd make it a perpetual motion machine i think. There have been a few weird results where the thrust has increased exponentiallly with the power and some people have extrapolated that out to hoverboard levels. Itd be great, but silly to consider at this point...

If it's Tajmar that got leaked this week, he got values in line with others. But he had pretty low Q factors so it wasn't that impressive. From what (little) I understand, the Q factor is the amount of shenanigans going on in the drive, and folks are trying to figure out how to maximize them...

As someone who knows little about organic chemistry, id be super interested if we discovered a planet teeming with silicone/ ammonia based life instead of carbon / water

Let me know if you need someone to pay a Michigan tool a visit.

Why would you ever want to play 1.0?

bonus: Why don't I remember any of these scenes? I remember hercules/xena being lawless and sorbo running around in the woods like a larp film, but this is above and beyond.

Would love it if the Spartacus folks redid Xena with Crixus as Ares. Man I forgot how good those shows were (Note at 0:50, the hand that grabs the knife isn't even close to Ares' hand).

No idea, maybe. Re: WEight lifting vs running, I like weight lifting but for a few more months I can just run around my nieghborhood with my kid in a jogging stroller.

C++ has a mechanism to handle this called "const correctness". Basically if you have a function declared as: void saveToDatabase(std::string & data); That data string can be modified. If the declaration is: void saveToDatabase(const std::string & data); Then the data string can't...

So I've had this problem for a while and ask about it in various circles over the years but have never gotten a good answer... When I jog a part of my calf muscle becomes exhausted, very tight and burns (likely from lactic acid) very quickly. On the order of within several minutes of jogging...

What?

I really hope there's a scene where the Sword of the Morning (Sandor Clegane), Jon "Wight King" Snow with Long Claw, Brienne of Tarth, and Azor Ahai (Jaime Lannister) with Lightbringer charge into a field of others and they start getting blown up.

Next edition of Clean Code review. I went through the comments chapter which I disagreed with nothing about. The author was very much about minimal usage of comments. I try to make all my functions verbs, ex: getName() rather than name() so I agree with the first part. But I think encoding...

Nobody knows, but I'd bet my life it'd be awesome. Dawn is made out of unobtanium mixed with unicorn dust.

You can get around doing null checks by creating some kind of pass/fail architecture around whatever you're doing, but null checks are more built into the language and easier. It's like the difference between building a rear facing camera that will buzz when there is a chair behind you vs simply...

One thing that both frightens and comforts me is that every family I know with 3+ kids and good parents has wildly different results in all their kids. There's good and bad parents out there, and they have an impact on their kids, but man is it weird to see a family of four where one person goes...

I agree. Good improvements. I notice chaining a lot more in Javascript than other languages. Probably because a null javascript value isn't nearly as catastrophic.

I agree but the first couple hours of the fallout games are survival games, and if you mod it the first half of them are. That is enough to give me the desire for it to be a survival game which is more compellong than some city builder.

Id want to see her do an article on what it means when you play an extremely racist dunmer in morrowind ans run around calling people nweh.

I like the xesign of the castle.

Thanks for the explanation.

Did he use lysterine?

Delaying your beta isn't a surprise. Delaying it 6+ months because one of your newly hired devs fell through is a really disconcerting event. I hope that as a game goes into beta, the programming tasks are tweaking feature complete modules, fixing bugs, refactoring systems, building tools...

Repost from science thread since this thread is more relevant: Given that we just found out basic information about pluto, as a layman I am totally suspicious about any information we have about a planet that is 1400ly away. My understanding is that they look at how a star wobbles based on...

hodj, you're wrong, please see my previous comment.

I think lendarios found a good solution. I'll have to try it out next time I'm in a clean code base to see how I feel. I think with some coding standards you do them for so long, seeing the light on minor shit like m_ isn't worth it because the light burns! Besides I have some 20 opinions of the...

yeah I think it's a good style.

Given that we just found out basic information about pluto, as a layman I am totally suspicious about any information we have about a planet that is 1400ly away. My understanding is that they look at how a star wobbles based on its orbiting planets, but I feel like without having a way to test...

Hodj, Iannis and Dumar are all equally wrong because the subset of RNA that forms lysterine through bianually linked TRT strands can form causalities through triple stranded nuclear pairs.

properties? What is this sorcery? I think the clean coding book uses an undefined language that doesn't have properties. I actually prefer coding books that are language specific both so there's no confusion on whether properties exist and also so you can learn coding styles that are...

Like I said I don't have a lot invested in it and only brought it up to hear counter-arguments to what I think, but how would you rewrite: You say change the param, would you write: At that point you're just suffixing instead of prefixing. Maybe you obfuscate that with: But you're really just...

Lol @ sc fans not wanting p2w.
